Hi, all,

Notwithstanding my history of GUI rejection, I'm trying to make peace  
with the SAGE notebook, which I think is pretty neat.  The latest  
incarnation (I'm using 2.7.1, on Mac OS X, with Safari) looks pretty  
good.

However, I run into odd behavior that makes me think that I'm just  
inept.  I'm hoping someone can shed some light for me.

Here's an example.

I enter the following:

{{id=0|
def CompSum(a,b):
     return a+b
}}}

{{{id=1|
CompSum(3,4)
///
7
}}}

{{{id=3|
2+2
///
4
}}}

{{{id=4|
Q.<i,j,k>=QuaternionAlgebra(QQ,-3,4)
}}}

{{{id=12|
Q
///
Quaternion algebra with generators (i, j, k) over Rational Field
}}}

{{{id=10|
Q.discriminant()
///
2304
}}}

and so far, so good.  Then I do

{{{id=11|
Q.is_commutative()
}}}

{{{id=14|

}}}

I expect something printed, but nothing shows (and the 'id=14' cell  
is "empty").  Even more puzzling
is

{{{id=15|
2+2
}}}

{{{id=16|

}}}

This seems quite repeatable.  The Log verifies the above.

If I use SAGE from the shell, and repeat the above, I see what I  
would expect (False and 2+2 for the last two).  The 'server' window  
(from which I run "sage -notebook") is littered with entries like
     2007/07/29 16:01 -0700 [HTTPChannel,5,127.0.0.1] Quitting  
ignored worksheet process for 'My First Try'.

These show up for each of the above.

Perplexedly,

Justin
